Dec. 21, 2025 — Walmart Inc.

As of Sunday, December 21, 2025, Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) heads into a holiday-shortened trading week near recent highs, after a busy stretch of headlines spanning next-generation obesity drugs, potentially accelerated FDA review timelines, price cuts aimed at widening access, and a fast-evolving U.S. drug-pricing agenda.

CoreWeave Stock (NASDAQ: CRWV): Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, and 2026 Outlook as of December 21, 2025

CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWV) has become one of the most watched—and most debated—AI infrastructure stocks of 2025. As of December 21, 2025 (a Sunday, with U.S. markets closed), CoreWeave shares are sitting near $83, after a sharp late-week rebound that followed weeks of volatility and “AI bubble” hand-wringing across Wall Street. The timing matters: the stock’s latest surge didn’t come from a single earnings print. Instead, it arrived at the intersection of (1) new/renewed bullish coverage from Wall Street, (2) fresh credibility signals from government and NVIDIA, and (3) investor anxiety about leverage, customer concentration, and data-center execution risk—the “boring”
